In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

SR, FOX has gall to suspend Judge Pirro and hire a known cheater, (former DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile), who gave Hillary Clinton debate questions. Never any sort of admonishment or punishment for dems. They are always rewarded for their horrificness (can that be a word today).

OMG! She was fundraising for an all woman black college —off the Jussie Smollett Fake Hate crime. Donna Brazile deleted her tweet.
Did we ever find out everyone Smollett was calling or called him before his FAKE White Supremacy Hate Crime?

I am sick to death of hearing the left’s side. I’m a very open minded person with fact-based opinions and know that in most every instance THERE IS NO FACT-BASED DEFENSE OF ANYTHING THE LEFT BELIEVES.

Thus, when I hear an idea from the right or a criticism of the left from the right that I agree with BASED UPON IT BEING SUPPORTED BY FACTS, I don’t want to have to waste my time and raise my blood pressure listening to IDIOTIC “arguments” from the left that are provably false but to which I cannot respond other than wanting to shout at the TV. That results in me skipping over the “Dim response” on any Fox show which I always record on my DVR to avoid commercials.

I’m not interested in another Dim representative on Fox and I think that if this is Fox trying to convince the two people from the left who might watch their channel to somehow cause them to magically mutate into beings capable of critical thought and analysis by presenting the left’s side and then, in most cases, NOT destroying them nearly as well as I could, they can dream one. You cannot convince 99% of the left with reason and evidence.

She doesn’t have a show—she’s just a contributor. Ive gotta give Brazile a little credit for having written that book in 2017 (I don’t remember the title) which didnt exactly win her any friends or future opportunities with the Left. I submit that it would be very difficult for someone in her position (a black female deeply entrenched within the DNC) to do or say anything against a Clinton. Yet she did. Is she just an opportunist who saw the writing on the wall and now wants to play both sides? Maybe. But I can see some potential value in bringing her past experiences and POV to a political discussion. She’ll either be another annoying Juan Williams or a Dershowitz who (at times) brings a level of common sense to the table. I expect the former —but will hope for the latter. Either one isn’t threatening to the MAGA movement.

That was the first thing I thought too!! Condom man strikes again! On the other hand, can’t we get these fools names and harass them in their homes too? If this isn’t a disturbance of the peace, I don’t know what is.

The sad thing, as some posters on the twitter thread pointed out is.., the woman with the pink hair and megaphone is screeching right into her babies ears, akin to child abuse. Proof liberalism is a mental disorder, they have no filter.

Mashall, I guess it’s not so important since the invaders have no plans to work. They don’t need to. Free everything.
We get to work and pay for them. Most of us do not have the upgraded healthcare plan the invaders receive by illegally crossing. (If we have healthcare at all)
But no worries, no one will have anything once they are all here. (A few exceptions of course.) It is truly unsustainable.

Turned on CNN a few minutes ago to see how they are covering the shooting in the Netherlands and was pleased to see that they are leading off today’s news coverage with the President’s weekend tweets.
All of those viewers who get their news from CNN are seeing messages from our President which
they probably would never have bothered to look at otherwise.
Thanks, CNN. 🙂

First they tried to remove the President with the initialed agencies coup. Failed
Then they tried a special prosecutor, Mueller. Failed
Then they moved to SDNY prosecution of family, friends, and the President. Ongoing.
As extra insurance, if you watch and listen carefully, the new talking/walking points are “mental health”.

You have to loo at this way, in the childlike world of absolutes these people inhabit: Trump can do NOTHING right, democrats can do NOTHING wrong. Pelosi could have a frothing babbling breakdown on national tv and it would make no difference.

And it looks like George Conway is all over that… now accusing the President of “getting worse” and having narcissistic personality disorder. Not linking the stories, but one is in The Hill and the other Washington Examiner.

I swear, I don’t understand why Kellyann allows him to get away with this!

Sundance
I was wondering if you can do a thread on Tucker today? The harassment and maybe some of the stuff Tucker has been addressing the last week or so.

Tucker is trying to fight back against this Leftist onslaught, and so far this site hasn’t to my knowledge gave a thread to Tucker, the last week or so.

It’s pretty bad, even Tucker last week stated it’s very bad what they are doing to him, but tried to keep quiet about it for a long time because he doesn’t want to burden people with “his problems with the media” , but … it’s to the point where he has to talk about it.

Tucker is the only commentator on tv that deals with actual data, empirically collected and analyzed data. Like Charles Murray, he’ll take a lot of heat for it too.

It was hard to take when he was criticized by the left for his discussion about how single parenthood is so correlated with poverty. His discussion of the data showing the beneficial results of a intact families made the left go crazy.

His well-documented, critical approach to both reporting the news and stating logical opinions and conclusions that embarrass the leftists is not sustainable on Fox. I anticipate he is next to be silenced, and he will soon have a home on another network, either Newsmax or OANN, with the latter being my preference.

POTUS needs all the media support he can get. There may come a time when friendly media types just throw in the towel and call it a day. They’ve made their coin and can go off into multi acre country in Idaho or something and live away from it all.

Would help if certain things are done. Gets frustrating to watch after so long.

GDP growth during the four quarters of 2018 was the fastest since 2005. This Administration is the first on record to have experienced economic growth that meets or exceeds its own forecasts in each of its first two years in office. GROWTH is beating MARKET EXPECTATIONS!

“At this rate, DHS is releasing more than 42,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the country about every month. Should this current Catch and Release rate remain throughout the calendar year, by the end of 2019 DHS will have released more than half a million border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S.”

There are Excuses and then there are Results.
These Results are not Winning.
The Chief Executive is Primarily responsible. He directs the Attorney General and others.
Delusion, Denial, Deceit.
Keep the Heat on those Responsible.

Will it be yours or mine whose last words after being shot by a 5 time deported illegal Invader,
“Help me, Dad?”
Kate Steinle 1 July 2015.

If, as it appears, DHS is busing Illegal Alien Invaders into the US.
The Executive Branch and The Department of Homeland Security is enabling the Illegal Invasion.
US Citizen Taxpayers are toiling their precious years away funding it.

Carefully selected leftist courts, the DHS, and the DOJ have succeeded in turning the strengthening of border security into a mirage. However, the transparency of the deep state’s victories are becoming increasingly clear.

With national emergency rightly in place due to a foreign invasion, the borders could be closed with EO. Of course, COC would go nuts.
Maybe if we tell them there are Russians at the border, (instead of ms13, Isis, etc)
then we could shut it down.
Ya, I know, I just need to suck it up and hand out teddy bears and soccer balls.

They can be denied entry and not processed. Flores applies to “holding them”

The Chief Executive can prevent anyone at anytime from entry.

“Reality check here: a President Trump would have the power to ban certain people from entering the country.

Under U.S. Code, the president does have the statutory authority to keep anyone out of the country, for any reason he thinks best. Per 8 USC §1182

“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

Yes, the president has the authority to do exactly what trump is describing. And by the way, this kind of thing has happened before.

In the late 1800s, Congress passed legislation broadly aimed at halting the immigration of Chinese laborers. Those were not fully repealed until 1943. Quotas limiting immigration based on race and national origin were also enacted in the early 1900s. Racial quotas were repealed in 1952, and those limiting people based on national origin were eliminated in 1965.”

Thanks for your research. Unfortunately, quoting the law presently serves only to emphasize the nation-wide indifference of it and lack of respect for it. The first sanctuary city and the first injunction against the first immigration-related EO opened the floodgates.

The minute they claim “asylum” they cannot be ejected. And they all do it after being coached before hitting the border.

I think it would be a good idea to go after these outfits who are enabling this invasion by advertising their services in those countries and coaching the invaders on what to say. I seem to recall an EO being signed early in the administration relating to human trafficking 😉

I also think that a huge problem is within the DHS itself… how many Obama/Napolitano holdovers are there? There was an entire group of them in the DHS General Counsel’s office (where we got DACA from). Are they not finding ways to use the law to prevent these incursions? Or are they finding ways to help them along the way… we need an investigation.

President Trump signed a proclamation Friday morning banning migrants who enter the country between official ports of entry from seeking asylum in the United States. Officials from the Department of Homeland Security and Justice Department told reporters that the proclamation would go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Saturday and be in effect for 90 days

(edit to add ONLY 90 DAYS!!!????”

On Thursday afternoon, administration officials released the text of an interim regulation outlining new restrictions on asylum seekers at the border in anticipation of the president’s proclamation.

The interim rule, which will be published in the Federal Register and open for public comment Friday morning, establishes “a mandatory bar to asylum eligibility” for refugees crossing the southwestern border between official ports of entry. It contains a finding that granting asylum in those circumstances “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.”

During a call with reporters Thursday afternoon, senior administration officials explained that Trump would be exercising the same “use of authority that the Supreme Court upheld in Trump v. Hawaii,” better known as the travel ban case, to make such a determination about migrants who enter the U.S. from Mexico.”

Regardless of any District Court, the Emergency Declaration and the Chief Executive Emergency Powers and others, allow him to prevent the entry of anyone at anytime.

There are Excuses and then there are Results.
Giving up never Wins Anything.

Dispense with the “He’ll be Impeached Fear mongering Excuse for not Repelling the Invasion.”

SCOTUS recently confirmed his Power. Read the above link.

“The problem for the critics is the same one they eventually failed to overcome in the travel-ban case. The Immigration and Nationality Act gives the president very wide latitude to issue proclamations that suspend entry of aliens or impose “restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.” In Trump v Hawaii, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the INA “exudes deference to the President in every clause”:

It entrusts to the President the decisions whether and when to suspend entry, whose entry to suspend, for how long, and on what conditions.”

But why are you repeating all this stuff here? We all know the deal… and we understand that the Constitution gives the President the powers. There is nothing we, personally, can do to stop the judges from black robe usurpation.

We see all the tremendous roadblocks shoved up against anything this President does. He sees it too. He has to work through the system to the ultimate win.

I have EVERY faith that this President WILL prevail, despite the evil machinations of those who oppose We The People.

The Constitution is the rule of the land. The Constitution enumerates to Congress (Art 1 Sec 8): To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization. The Constitution does NOT enumerate powers to any part of the Federal government concerning immigration. 10 A states that any powers NOT enumerated to the Federal government are reserved for the States. The States are to determine immigration and the Feds determine naturalization.

So, 8 USC §1182, like many other laws passed by Congress is unconstitutional on two fronts:
1. It invents a power that the Federal government does NOT possess.
2. Gives the power of “law-making via proclamation” to the Executive Branch…a violation of separation of powers.

Winky, It appears the Chief Executive and the Attorney General are currently Derelict in that and must adjust to fulfill their duty of Protecting the Nation and it’s Citizens against Invasion, and vigorously enforce the Immigration Laws as written via prosecution and deportation. That is why he is Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces.
With Authority comes Responsibility.

Trouble is, patrick , the democrat party/progressives stand for nothing good. The party has no platform, no tolerance & no morals. What does Donna want to talk about? Higher taxes, open borders, tons of regulations, loss of freedoms, how to cheat in elections? What exactly?

By 2020 all conservatives with any sand will be silenced or exiled to the hinterlands. It’s happening every day. YouTube, facebook, twitter, et all — deplatforming, purging, demonetizing. This administration does nothing.

Robert Spencer is almost entirely purged. Owen Benjamin has been demonetized and is clinging by his fingernails. The list is endless. They vowed to never let 2016 happen again, and they won’t.

OANN can be streamed on your computer w/a little box they offer. just like pay-per-view started.
I don’t think OANN is in any position to pay the likes of Tucker or the Judge.
Maybe that’s where things should change.
Can’t’ be that the only rich people in this Country are marxists.

If you want a career in politics but don’t know where to start, take a look at the @TrainDems staff academy. Their mission is to recruit, train, and help place the next generation of Democratic campaign staff: https://t.co/GSjiT1zs46

I’ve been saying they were giving the docs out like it was candy. They completely didn’t care (likely knew) if it was factual or not. At least this story mentions Wallander & Nuland connection. Other names that came up in Kramer or Steele release . Chris Brose, Lilia Shevtsova and Paul Ryan’s COS. That’s why I no longer say “small cabal” because there were many with their fingers in different aspect/stages of snuff Trump.

Side note- It was once said Steele’s company Orbis was mixed up in some kind of college admission scam (long before this recent stuff) . Maybe something is going on in the background.

Fox News signs Donna Brazile? So Judge Jeanine is out, but this lying sack of shit is in? There isn't one fox viewer who believes a word she says, or even wants to hear her. She gave Hillary debate questions! She's keeping hush about Seth Rich after admitting it in her book

I'm telling you, if I were OAN I would be pushing to become more widely available on more providers. They could overtake Fox News, since Fox keeps pulling moves like this. If people had the option they would switch to OAN. I did a poll that proved this recently. . @OANN

Socio-Communists-Fascist Trolls, are you following along with Patrick Henry’s train of thought? Bernie? Occ-Cor? Lizzie the almost Native American – oops, you “recanted” on “Socialism, along with Robert Francis. Kamala? Mr. Former Mayor of Newark, Booker? And quite a number of others among you…..

Multinationalist-Globalist Money Changers in the Temple: are you listening? Are you watching?
You, who so long to take us back to the humanitarian crises of Europe in the 18th century. Anybody among you remember a little 10 year par-tay referred to as The French Revolution and the Reign of Terror? Greed is as greed does, and one type of greed feeds another.

Your proposed “solutions” do not work, will not work, and as historical evidence has provided, never worked – anywhere.

Why? Because the human heart is avaricious. The more it gets, the more it wants, in some cases, at any price, whatever it may cost in direct, and collateral damage.

Those of you on the Socio-Communist-Fascist end are in the same Fraternity as the Super Wealthy Globalists. You both want to destroy the United States of America, destroy the once sovereign European Nations, and keep the masses of migrant peoples in your pockets. AVARICE, Gentlemen and Ladies, does not become you, and you will fail: YET AGAIN.

The promise of power is an even more cajoling siren song than the temptation of money. Whoever takes wields the baton of the combination of the two, and eschews adherence to the most unique and ultimately fair governing documents ever produced in the catalogue of human history, is a tyrant. He or She will surround himself or herself with sycophants, equally greedy to become power brokers, to feel important, to operate as superiors, and will be quite happy to ensure their permanence, “by any means necessary”.

Capitalism works because it holds out the promise, the hope, and the authenticity of remunerative reward for labor invested. It is a balance among efforts expended, labor accomplished, and compensation delivered. This is the dominion of a strong Middle Class.

No society in human history has managed to thrive for long with just two socio-economic classes: the Power Brokers on one end, and the great unwashed masses laboring on behalf of the Power Brokers on the other end. It does not work. The human heart is too easily corrupted by power, easy big money, and the lack of a restraining leash. A subjugated people…. well we all know where that scenario eventually leads. A free people will not tolerate this imbalance of an absent middle.

The Constitution of the United States of America is the restraining leash on the people who populate the functions of government.

Socialists, I hope you are paying attention, and that you are able to comprehend this most basic element of human nature. You are doomed to fail: either because we will easily put your plans out to pasture, or because your executed plans will twist themselves into a knot of chains around you. We will free ourselves from you, and we will probably be a little cranky in the process.

God bless the United States of America and God bless and protect the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump – he who loves Our Country and our Constitution.

They will fail because they just do not get that we are all ‘created equal’, meaning we all come from one biological human male and one biological human female mating, resulting in a natural born biological male or female INDIVIDUAL human.

That people take the phrase ‘created equal’ to mean that the government MUST somehow ‘make’ everyone (that is every single grievous groups’ members) the same via government edicts fundamentally ignores nature, which can render fatal results . . .

Don’t know where today’s PH quote went. I posted it just ahead of of the longer post.
A 2nd attempt should work. I have a feeling that Ad Rem will jump in and notify me that it’s not lost, but rather, I posted it on another thread. Result of brain off-gassing: mine; not Ad Rem’s!

Wisdom and timeless counsel for today from PH:

“Show me that age and country where the rights and liberties of the people were placed on the sole chance of their rulers being good men, without a consequent loss of Liberty?”

So I knew Beto’s dad was probably a billionaire, buying land between the US and Mexico, in fact, owning land in both countries in both sides of the border.

But THIS THREAD tracks Beto’s wife’s family as STILL OWNiNG 22,000 acres in one of the most highly-trafficked areas. Replete with railroads and major trafficking thoroughfares.

Found some ish on BETOSo apparently Beto’s Father in law (aka follow the wives Amy sanders) (Amy and Mother are in education) owns 22,000 acres of undeveloped land on the border EXACTLY where many of the illegal border crossings occur. pic.twitter.com/bypWEXGRrW

Summary of eRumor:
Several pictures said to be from Montebello high school in Montebello, California, that show students raising the Mexican flag with an American flag flying below it and upside down. The email also includes commentary about the future of American, but the main feature of the email is the pictures of the flags.
The Truth:
The pictures are true. They were taken at Montebello high school on Monday, March 27, 2006. The students were part of a walkout aimed at influencing Congress, which was debating immigration policy and the potential of cracking down on illegal immigrants in the country. Although the flag-raising took place at Montebello high school, officials of the Montebello Unified School District were quick to point out that the protesters were not students from Montebello high school. Assistent Superintendent Robert Henke said the high school was under a lockdown and all the students were in their classrooms. He said that the 800 to 1000 students were from neighboring school districts such as the El Rancho Unified School District and the Whittier Union High School District. They marched to Montebello high school, lowered the flags, replaced the school flag with a Mexican flag, flew the U.S. flag upside down, and stole the California flag that had been on the pole.

I cant tell you how good it was to AXE FOX from my life after the midterms . I don’t miss that soap opera at all . No more Hannity bomb shells , that never amount to nothing . My blood pressure is better and I don’t miss any real news . They will never let you tell how you feel about Islam / muslims , I got three days in FB jail just for saying Filthy Muslims on a story about the gang rape of a 14 year old girl that the slimes said was consentual

What we are seeing is the LEFTIST Billionaire’s buying out Trump last strong-hold on Conservative News.

Now the Disney-Fox deal suggests that it doesn’t include fox news or fox sports …. the speed of FOX the last few days hiring more Leftists to Fox news gives me some understanding that behind scenes stuff has been going on.

FOX NEWS is dead!

As Sundance tells us over and over and over again, there are BILLIONS at stake … and the Uniparty/Globalists have the money to buy out our Media and our politicians.

Nick the Deplorable
yeah, I stated that in my post, if you read it. The deal did not officially include fox news or fox sports. But I wasn’t sure if some behind scenes stuff was done too, since fox news has changed staff the last few days in leftist direction.

Disney did indeed buy much of Fox, in order to get the film catalog (20th Century Fox). The current economic shakeout in the entertainment industry is the Streaming Wars, as theater attendance dwindles and internet viewing grows. The streaming service with the most (and best) viewing selections to offer will win. This is why Netflix and Amazon are producing their own video series and films.

The Fox acquisition brings Disney not only a huge ready-made library of films to add to their own, but also the opportunity to expand their market by making and streaming R rated films (using the Fox name) that would otherwise not be possible for them due to Disney’s self-proclaimed “family friendly” position. So now, if you want to see a Disney or a Fox movie (this includes all the older movies, not just future production), you will have to go to Disney’s streaming business.

What Disney DIDN’T get (and most likely didn’t want, either) is the Fox News branch.

In addition to the library, they also got all of the production and studio facilities (primarily 20th Century Fox). That IS Fox, except for News.

So yes, they bought them BECAUSE of the library, but they did, in fact, buy the company (excluding News). My son is at a Fox owned CGI studio, and as of tomorrow his email address will change to xxxx@disney.com.

Really want to know why PTrump puts up with this and why Kelly allows this to continue. This is also disgusting and I am getting sick of this crap…..As a wife or husband does anyone believe that people do not have any mutual respect for their spouse and their job? C’mon…this is ridiculous

Which is my point…..is KAC divulging secrets to this buffoon (pillow talk)?. This is scary to think about. This is just not normal. There is something wrong here. I respect that married people have different views but not to this degree when the spouse is trashing the employer who puts food on the table. I am surprised that PTrump has never commented on it. I know Eric has.

The AssociatedPress, AP, is now reporting that FoxNews has hired former Clinton confidant Donna Brazile as a “political consultant.” Maybe they are planning on letting her take Judge Jeanine’s Saturday night slot? Just temporarily mind you, So Fox takes yet another step towards irrelevamcy with the rest of mainstream media..

How these media companies are making billions and paying millions to read from teleprompter? Barely a million people watches these fake media including Fox from a 350 million population. There is some other way to make money and Fox wants a share of deep state, foreign countries, K street, chamber of commerce, wall street, multinational corp. money and pretend to be a conservative. They desperately want to host few democratic primary debates and will be anti-Trump so look balance sh$t. Fox is a McStain of media.

Patriot Patrick, I have not watched fox since Barry won his reelection. The glee on their faces was enough for me.
Fox always told us we “must respect the office, regardless of who was there”. Pounded into our heads all 8 yrs of Clinton and all 8 yrs of Obama.
Haven’t heard that line lately, have you?

This woman is a fraud. She gets rewarded….this isn’t diversity, this is a cover up.
She was caught undermining a presidential debate, at minimum.

I actually think it's very important… we should have more voices and Donna Brazile will be able to bring that voice to Fox viewers. I welcome her and hope we get to a place again in this nation where policy is debated and we can hear both sides. https://t.co/hyT01HNtuO

So, Fox News has officially abandoned the idea that they are “Fair and Balanced” and have now come out as the new CNN. So goodbye forever Fox News. But, as others have pointed out, with Fox News officially in the Democrat party camp, there is no one left in the MSM who is even pretending to be neutral or fair to our side. And with the big tech monopolies banding together to destroy us, how can we get our voice out there? Step back and really think about it: CNN, MSMBC, Fox News, BBC, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Netflix, Disney, PBS, NPR, and pretty much everyone other “mainstream” company you can think of actively hates us all. They are not even pretending any more. We are being silenced overtly and covertly. The FBI, CIA, NSA, DOJ, EPA, IRS, and every foreign nation (except maybe Israel) hates us all. These organizations are actively working to silence and harass us at every turn. But not only that, they are whittling away at concepts everyone takes for granted: Free speech, privacy, common sense, logic, morals.

“But not only that, they are whittling away at concepts everyone takes for granted: Free speech, privacy, common sense, logic, morals.
How can we stop this madness? Can we?”

It cannot be stopped until it is named, called out. We must name the disease. This is essential to any cure. Our side cannot do this. We tear out our hair and have impotent fits about the breakdown of civil debate and unraveling of liberal society without making the clear moral observation that the Left does not want a civil debate and is dedicated to the destruction of liberal society. That admission is apparently too terrifying for us, too fraught with responsibility. So while they’re fighting a war, we’re feigning virtue in not fighting one, of being the great men and women who avert it. It’s too late for that.

Accept the burdens of war. Ephesians 6: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil…”

Can anyone tell me WHY Kellyanne Conway is still working in the White House?

Oh, I understand what most of you would say – she’s great, loyal, etc, don’t blame her for her husband, etc etc

But here’s my rub

I don’t know about you, but in my house, I can’t just go off on my spouse’s employer on social media, at social gatherings, etc WITHOUT my wife’s full consent. If my wife wants my mouth shut, my mouth is shut, there’s no other way around it.

So what gives? I’ll ask again…. why is Kellyanne Conway still working in the White House?
